The Department of Transport Management is taking steps to simplify the health examination process for obtaining a driving license by requesting that certificates from Nepal Medical Council registered doctors be recognized.
The Department of Transport Management, operating under the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure Development, has requested that the ministries overseeing transport in all seven provinces make arrangements to accept health examination certificates issued by doctors registered and licensed with the Nepal Medical Council for those seeking a driver’s license.
This request was formally conveyed through a circular released on Asar 32 by Ganesh Man Singh Rai, who is the director of the Vehicle Monitoring, Standards Formulation, and Driver Management Branch within the department.
The circular explained that the current system for health checks for driving licenses creates issues like unnecessary crowding, extra financial burdens, and syndicate-like problems due to the involvement of a few groups. To make services more straightforward, transparent, and client-friendly, recognizing health certificates from doctors registered and licensed with the Nepal Medical Council ensure transparency and uniformity. Therefore, the letter urged the ministries handling transport in all seven provinces to adopt this system, following a ministerial decision dated Baisakh 13, 2083 B.S.
This circular from the federal government is anticipated to make the health check process for obtaining a driver’s license more organized and dignified, ultimately benefiting service seekers.
Meanwhile, the Department of Transport Management has also requested detailed information about doctors recognized by the Nepal Medical Council. The department sent a letter to the Council on Saun 1, asking for this particular data.
